This is supposedly a localized event by undisclosed "organizations" and other obscure people since 2005. There is no indication that this event is notable. Google searches point to things of little credible value, such as re-iterations of the wikipedia article, blogs, or unrelated tea-tasting events. Googlebooks give no credible hits.

- Delete - I'm a sucker for cultural articles, but I don't see anything that can demonstrate notability or even significant coverage. Would be happy to change my mind if I saw some sources. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © Join WER 17:19, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete I found a news article covering the day in the San Diego Union-Tribune, but no other reliable sources. There are several meet-ups worldwide for the event and a number of blogs about it. My impression is that this is a case of WP:TOOSOON--the event just hasn't been around long enough to generate independent coverage. While the topic doesn't meet notability thresholds per WP:GNG, there is no prejudice to re-creation if multiple reliable sources become available. Now that I know about the day, I plan to celebrate it myself. --Mark viking (talk) 17:22, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
